Will, Here's my suggestion, check out oil can guitars. This link shows how the neck and pickups can be done. Also do a google search for oil can guitars pretty cool stuff out there.

Thanks for the link! i might have some oil cans in my mom's shed. I was going to use a groovy looking metal box my wife had but the box isnt big enough to use as a replacement body to keep scale length the same as the original wooden body.  i have access to a box pan brake so making a box from scratch isnt a big deal.

Will, You might notice the fingerboard stops at the edge of the can so the scale length will be correct. Anyways, have fun.

I do like the machine look of these, also I'll have to see if I can find a link to one of my metal top guitars.
